Andy Robertson lauds the impact Virgil van Dijk has made at Liverpool

Virgil van Dijk has jokingly said that he is getting tired of saying how good Virgil van Dijk is as the former Southampton man shines for Liverpool in their Premier League title challenge.

The Dutchman scored his first league goal since signing for Liverpool for £75million in January and the impact he has had on the Reds has been incredible.

His form over the last 12 months has been absolutely immense, with the Dutchman helping his new side keep an unbelievable 11 clean sheets in 18 games, only conceding 7 goals in the Premier League this season.

Robertson jokingly told Liverpoofc.com: “I’m getting bored speaking about how good he is!”

“No, I’m only joking. He was fantastic. We knew when we saw [Adama] Traore up top that he has got great pace. His pace and direction are a big threat and big Virgil did so well with him. We knew on the counter-attack they were dangerous.

“I’m sure he will be disappointed he has not scored more goals but it was a clean sheet and his first Premier League goal – pretty much a perfect day for him.

“He’s been brilliant [since joining Liverpool]. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside him for the majority of time on the left-hand side of the defence. He’s just a great lad to have next to you – I’m not sure he will say the same about me!

“I think we have had a good relationship, we work together. The whole back four does, whoever plays, his impact on the club has been good. I look forward to it continuing.”
